Stingray Affliction
Issues Lyrics

Show me what you're worth
Prove yourself and show me what value you bring

Get up
Stand up for yourself and face your problems

Facedown, thinking out loud
Contemplating life while lying in a prone position

He's so hardcore when he's running his mouth
Talking tough without the ability to back it up

There's always gonna be that fucking guy
There will always be someone who is annoying or a problem

You got a few things bottled up
You have some unresolved issues or emotions

Jump on a couple bottles like double dutch
Drinking alcohol to numb or escape from problems

Jager got you faded when society's got you jaded
Getting drunk on Jager while feeling disillusioned with society

How do you expect to grow
You cannot progress or mature if you do not face your problems

When all you wanna do is break
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to handle the pressure

It's time to let shit go
It is time to move on and leave behind the negative aspects of life

And let the chorus play
Let the chorus of the song speak its message

No, I don't wanna be tough
I do not want to act tough or repress my emotions

I wanna make sure they can see me cry sure enough
I want to show my vulnerability and emotions to others

Don't wanna bottle this up
I do not want to keep my emotions inside and unexpressed

The way you make me feel when you're around
You have an impact on my emotions and well-being

Tough guy dies a little inside this town
Acting tough takes a toll on a person's emotional health

Might show no love
I may not show affection or kindness to you

But kid you gotta wake up
You need to realize the truth and face reality

This is the real world
This is how life really is, without illusions or delusions

And you're only hurting yourself
Your actions are only harming yourself in the long run

When you spend every waking moment with your fingers crossed
Living in constant hope or denial without action or effort

I don't think you can afford to set karma further in motion
Your negative actions will result in repercussions

Go ahead
You may proceed with your negative behavior

No one cares
Nobody is impressed or influenced by your negative behavior

Talk shit you mean nothing
Your negative words have no value or merit

Oh, ooh, ask what I see in you
Questioning why I would be associated with you

I don't see nothing, I see right through
I do not see anything worthwhile or impressive about you

You're transparent I know you don't wanna hear it
Your true nature and intentions are obvious and you do not want to acknowledge it

And I don't wanna be the person to slip up and hurt your feelings
I do not want to be responsible for making you feel bad

I guess they don't wanna say it to your face
Other people may not want to confront you with the truth directly

But I will cause somebody's gotta put you in your place
I will tell you the truth and correct your behavior because it is necessary

I'm not afraid to scream and shout
I am willing to express myself loud and forcefully

And freak out and throw my hands up and let it out
Releasing my pent-up emotions in a dramatic way

Punk bitch walking tall like you got something to prove
You are acting arrogant and confident to make up for your insecurities

Nah man, 'cause deep down you know it sucks to be you
You are not truly happy or fulfilled and it is affecting you negatively

Stingray affliction
The pain and suffering caused by negative behavior and emotions

Making small stabs in passing, but the pain is bigger than it seems
Your negative actions or words may seem insignificant, but the impact is larger than you realize

Stop holding me under and let me breathe
Stop restraining or suffocating me with your negativity and let me be free

Just let me breathe
Allow me to exist without your hindrance or control

The pain is bigger than it seems (A tough guy dies a little inside)
The pain and suffering caused by negative emotions is more significant than it appears

(Just let me breathe) the pain is bigger than it seems
Allow me to exist without your negativity because the impact is greater than you realize

Stop holding me under and let me breathe
Stop restraining or suffocating me with your negativity and let me be free
